Host a DGT™ Family Service Fair for Your Faith-based Organization

Hosting a fun, meaningful service fair for your faith-based community is easy. For a reasonable administrative fee and the cost of supplies, we will coordinate all the details of the event for you—everything from purchasing supplies to making connections with non-profit agencies.

Participants move among the activity stations and can work on every project or just a few, all while educating themselves and their children about critical social issues and the value of serving others. This fair has proved to be an ideal way for families and other small groups to have fun together while making a real difference in the community.

To learn more about how you can host your own Family Service Fair, contact our Doing Good Together™ Family Service Fair Director, Nassim Rossi.

Testimonials

“Doing Good Together provided our church community with an evening of fun, meaningful service opportunities for all ages. Though we were able to provide input into the activities planned and the nonprofits which benefited, DGT did the work, and our community enjoyed a wonderful evening doing good together!” -- Marie Bisonette, Elementary Faith Formation Director, St. Joan of Arc, Minneapolis

“One of the tenets of the Shinnyo-en Buddhist Order is to serve others, but oftentimes temple members who wanted to serve their immediate communities didn’t know how or where to start. Partnering with Doing Good Together allowed us to address that exact need, and the Family Service Events that [they] coordinated for us at the temples made serving the community easy for Shinnyo-en participants. They didn’t have to feel that their prior skills or experiences were not good enough, and they felt empowered to serve their communities while enjoying their time together.”-- Ineko Tsuchida, Program Director, Shinnyo-en Foundation, San Francisco
